Special Content Edition with Julian Carle
Leadership does not come from your title. In fact, being named to a position is only the first and lowest of the five levels every effective leader achieves. To become more than a boss people are required to follow, you must master the ability to inspire and build a team that produces not only results, but also future leaders.
Which level are you at as a leader? Which level do you aspire to be?
Join Julian as he explores and explains the 5 Levels of Leadership which were developed by bestselling author and leadership expert, John C Maxwell.

Resilient people not only survive and bounce back after a setback, they come back stronger and wiser. People who are highly resilient are excellent at finding the silver lining in any situation, and they excel in finding the lesson each negative experience has taught them and applying it in their future endeavours.
Resilience enables us to better deal with workplace demands, especially when those demands arise from a constantly changing environment, priorities and workload. Resilient people do more of the things that help maintain that responsiveness.
There are a lucky few who are born with a natural ability for resiliency, fortunately for the rest of us, resiliency can be learned. Join Julian as he steps you through ways you can build your resilience, and how you can build resilience in your teams.

Mentoring provides a way for both the mentor and mentee to accelerate their leadership learning. In this episode of the Synergen Leadership Podcast, Julian introduces you to some of the topics from his book about mentoring called Give Back. Lead Forward. Covering areas such as building trust, giving feedback, resolving issues and the benefits networking brings, Julian shares his thoughts on why every leader should be a mentor and have a mentor.

You need to build relationships with people so they get to know and trust you.
Teams and organisations that lack trust quickly fall behind teams where people trust one another and trust their leaders. A good level of trust provides an environment for healthy risk-taking in relationships. The higher the level of trust, the more that people are willing to take career risks for their leader or for their organisation.
Good working relationships give us several other benefits: our work is more enjoyable when we have good relationships with those around us. Also, people are more likely to go along with changes that we want to implement, and we're more innovative and creative.
Good relationships give us freedom: instead of spending time and energy overcoming the problems associated with negative relationships, we can, instead, focus on opportunities.
With higher trust levels organisations are more flexible, are better at creating strategic alliances, have more responsive teams, and are more effective at crisis management.
Join Julian as he explores the importance of relationships and how you can achieve good relationships with your team and your clients.
